Abstract excerpt
Mutation or loss of the genes PTEN and KRAS have been implicated in human colorectal cancer (CRC), and have been shown to co-occur despite both playing a role in the PI3' kinase (PI3'K) pathway. We investigated the role of these genes in intestinal tumour progression in vivo, using genetically engineered mouse models, with the aim of generating more representative models of human CRC. Intestinal-specific deletion...
